They lost 3-2 there on Oct. 27 with No. 1 goalie Roberto Luongo making the start.The visit to the ACC brings back memories for Reimer who was traded to the San Jose Sharks on Feb. 27 and signed a five-year deal with the Panthers in the offseason,Youre sitting there remembering the times that this or that happened, this game or that game, Reimer said.

You earn that reputation by how you play at home every night. You just want to find some consistency, whether its (with the lineup) or whatever the case may be. I think were doing a good job of paying attention to detail. We have some skill and with that combination, it can lead to good things.

Maybe a few of us or the team havent gotten those bounces but now that we did, we feel confident that we can take that with us.Panthers coach Gerard Gallant hopes the goal could be the start of a good stretch for Ekblad.Hes had a tough go so far, Gallant said. Aarons a guy that gets a lot of points. Hes got three goals so far, he wants to get more points and get more on the board. Sometimes a goal like that will turn things around.Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock continues to adjust his defense, which has been prone to breakdowns in the defensive end of the rink.Babcock said that Connor Carrick, who did not play in the previous two games, will return to the lineup against the Panthers with Martin Marincin being left out.
